What's going on everybody welcome back to 909 Adventures Twin Arrows Arizona got one arrow still standing one there on the ground and uh got a lot of stuff over here to go check out so uh we're going to do that before we get started you guys if you could hit that thumbs up for me i'd really appreciate that that'll let youtube know to start sharing these videos with others and uh yeah you guys you know what let's just dive right into this video he wanted to put my face on a t-shirt but he couldn't draw that well and he didn't have a camera here use this one nobody liked that color anyway got mrs 909 checking out the uh short circuit johnny 5 gas pump there i mean that's exactly what it looks like very cool it's funny there was only what one two over there and then two more gas pumps to service this area this busy stretch of the 40 freeway way back in the day and uh just to let you guys know this is a an actual filming location of a very famous movie we'll get to here shortly back from the 90s very important movie i guess you could say it's like a uh you know i'm gonna have to do some research and do some voice over in this but from what i can remember and understand it's just like a you know little trading post twin arrows trading post i think this was yeah look at the roof guys it's caving it is 100% caving in the sad part about it is there's nobody to sue if we get hurt out here not that we're trying to get hurt or would try to get hurt but this was uh what i can remember and if i'm remembering correctly this was a trading post pretty small little closet not much going on there somebody piled up the doors huh not much in here it's like a little closet you know this was probably like a little living quarters area i mean because guys there's nothing out here this was it for miles i think the next major city was what about 30 miles back flagstaff yeah yeah and we stopped in flagstaff grab some coffee good old four bucks i mean starbucks and just a closet i missed the bathroom okay we'll work our way back there yeah look at that you still see like i don't know what do you think this was like a cooler yeah that's what it looks like open up grab your uh your bag of ice yeah you know you probably ordered it this window here maybe one of these windows probably nothing that you would even you know walk into you probably order at a window because you could see this you could tell this was a kitchen maybe that was probably a refrigerator not for ice but yeah you could tell this maybe like a stove was here at one point i don't know no hood it's hard to say very cool stuff though what was that what do you think that was you know it could have been a vent for a stove coming out dumping the heat out your guys's guess is as good as mine and that's the uh that's the building we were just in or that room see what do we got back here more stuff just more junk a lot of mold it looks like i don't know walk really lightly wear converse and nails love to go right through converse even uh a little bullhead stickers go right through my converse uh not yet but that's the key word yeah all right let's uh let's work our way back towards the other area oh you know what this is probably where the stove was yeah this obviously wasn't the door you got your your vent for your your hood right there yeah as soon as i seen this was all metal i was like oh okay this is where the stove was yeah it was probably never meant to be like a pass through you know we were already there you're the old windows yeah i know my my grandma's house had these old windows up until i don't know the the mid 2000s or something like that yeah they're just painted shut now i bet i'm not sure if that's asbestos or not but you know it's pretty well vintage yeah it looks like fiberglass it don't look like asbestos yeah so this is obviously like maybe the another no probably another part of the store you just got some shelving there i mean that's a pretty big door for it to not be part of the store you know was that an old light fixture right there i don't know why it looked like a like some sort of reel let's see what else we got here some more shelving oh look a chimney fireplace you know i wonder if they like rented rooms out here too if it was like a little motel this looks like a little motel more living quarters guys we'll check that out after this i don't want to get in there oh great wobbly rain gutter oh you know i can't even get in there through this way i thought this was the entrance but yeah just a little room back out we go yeah this is uh you can see like where the old wall heater was and then uh yeah this was probably either a little room to rent for the night or living quarters for the uh the deep yeah both ways like long closet for a hotel motel whatever it is i guess yeah that's asbestos for sure so the fridge probably went here yeah oh and in case you guys haven't seen it yet it's another bathroom look i'm surprised this tile is still here look at that huh but yeah so i'm this is either like i said living quarters for the uh the groundskeeper or the owners but uh yeah now let's go check that out looks like that was a garage huh garage door well maybe not a garage because look it still looks like or a workshop just a workshop maybe they did small little repairs here maybe some tires but you know you'd have to have a place to store tires and another uh another little apartment it does seem a little bigger but it has less of a shape like the other one that other one was l-shaped this is just you know nice little open room you could tell the kitchen was here and uh you know the bathroom and a much smaller closet much smaller closet yeah see that and look here's the uh the wall heater is still here in this one and then the uh it's the bathroom that's crazy yeah that's probably for the other ones but look the blinds are still here you think they work yeah they kind of do somebody's got them tied off keep them up little bird's nest very cool though there's their wow that's a lot of asbestos so a fireplace yeah that's the fireplace we're gonna get out of this little area pretty quick it's a lot more asbestos than i was realizing was here look i don't know how i did i miss this when we got here more of the living quarters yeah this is like a more of a house than those other ones yeah look guys the carpet is still here that's crazy it's just carpet why do i get excited for carpet yeah somebody's memories yeah this is probably the most intact room of course now it's windows but other than that it has everything else yeah this is really cool twin arrows let's see is there anything else i missed go down that hall to the left here yeah just watch where you step just for bathroom all the stink bugs guys that's gross guys that's gross very nasty this is a very famous movie very important movie but okay so right along this stretch of road here he was running just running yes forrest gump so this is a scene in the movie where he's running and the guy runs up next to him trying to figure out uh something for his t-shirt so he's running and then a truck comes by and splashes his face with mud then the guy hands him a t-shirt and says hey here's the yellow one nobody ever likes the yellow one it doesn't sell so he wipes his face off and hands him back the shirt and there the smiley face t-shirt was born right so in the scene at the very end of that scene you could see at the time both arrows were still standing now it's just one but this is the forrest gump movie location it only shows up in the movie for like 15 seconds but nevertheless you know it's still uh that was a pretty i guess important part of the movie but very cool twin arrows arizona all right so it's windy today i hope the audio is coming out okay but here's the other arrow that has fallen over unfortunately huh the actual arrow's gone yeah yeah you can see where it once stood that's too bad well you know some lucky guy has the other chunk out there here you go guys the last arrow standing it's pretty awesome i don't know what i was expecting i was expecting this to be a little bit taller for more awesome videos just like this one youtube is going to suggest that you guys watch one of these videos here on the screen next also watch out for new videos every tuesday bartender where's light
